Fossildude19 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Yes. Dinosaur bone shards are often cut and polished to a high sheen, to be used as jewelry inclusions. As far as I know, however, there is no real way of identifying such pieces to anything other than "dinosaur bone."

The Speeding Carno Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Yes, these are real. Most of them come from the Morrison formation. 35 minutes ago, Fossildude19 said: Yes.

Troodon Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Agatized dinosaur bone is what is typically used for polishing so that one can see the cell structure of the bones. Jurassic bones out of the Morrison Formations of Utah and Colorado make good candidates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I've read that some gembones do come from Patagonia (Argentina and Chile) but cannot add much more than that. So it's possible that those are Chilean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
